Psalm 8Common English Bible (CEB) Psalm 8 For the music leader. According to the Gittith.[a] A psalm of David. 8 Lord, our Lord, how majestic     is your name throughout the earth!     You made your glory higher than heaven![b] 2 From the mouths of nursing babies     you have laid a strong foundation     because of your foes,     in order to stop vengeful enemies. 3 When I look up at your skies,     at what your fingers made—     the moon and the stars     that you set firmly in place— 4         what are human beings             that you think about them;         what are human beings             that you pay attention to them? 5 You’ve made them only slightly less than divine,     crowning them with glory and grandeur. 6 You’ve let them rule over your handiwork,     putting everything under their feet— 7         all sheep and all cattle,         the wild animals too, 8         the birds in the sky,         the fish of the ocean,         everything that travels the pathways of the sea. 9 Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth!
